Rip GOP: How the New America Is Dooming the Republicans

- Blurb -

A leading pollster and adviser to America's most important political figures explains why the Republican Party will disintegrate at last in 2020. With the election of Donald Trump, the Republicans thought they had finally stopped America in its tracks and could drag it back into the mythic past they venerated.Stanley Greenberg argues that the election was, instead, the party's dying gasp. Having rejected the advice of their own consultants to build bridges and attract a broader range of voters, they instead retreated to what seemed like the safe embrace the evangelical white male. They've only done more of the same since.But ours is no country for old white men any longer. It's a New America: younger, progressive and increasingly racially diverse, immigrant-filled, and secular with women more independent and sexually free while the patriarchal family continues to decline.Using amazing insights from his focus groups with real people and surprising revelations from his own polls, Greenberg explains how the GOP has branded itself in opposition to this New America. How it's pitted itself against the millennial generation and the metropolitan areas. How it's entrenched itself in a shrinking demographic. And how, as a result, it is doomed to fail.2016 seemed like a tipping point for America, but it wasn't the one the Republicans thought. As the New America fought back in 2018, they will, Greenberg predicts, finally put paid to the party of obstruction and polarization in 2020.
